According to Ptolemy's model, he, too, believed in a geocentric Universe and that the planets and stars were perfect spheres, though Earth itself was not.

He further thought that the movements of the planets and stars must be circular since they were perfect and, if the motions were circular, then they could go on forever.

<h3>What is comets and shooting stars?</h3>

Shooting stars are very different from comets, although the two can be related. A Comet is a ball of ice and dirt, orbiting the Sun (usually millions of miles from Earth). ... A shooting star on the other hand, is a grain of dust or rock (see where this is going) that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.

If the resultant force acting on a 2.0 kg object is equal to (3.0î + 4.0ĵ) N, what is the change in kinetic energy as the object
12345 [234]

Answer:

ΔK = 24 joules.

Explanation:

ΔK = Work done on the object

Work is equal to the dot product of force supplied and the displacement of the object.

W = F * Δs

Δs can be found by subtracting the vectors (7.0, -8.0) and (11.0, -5.0), which is written as Δs = (11.0 - 7.0, -5.0 - -8.0) which equals (4.0, 3.0).

This gives us

W = < 3, 4 > * < 4, 3 > = (3*4)+(4*3) = 24 J

Which of the following is not a colligative property? a. osmotic pressure b. lattice energy c. vapor-pressure lowering d. boilin
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

b) lattice energy

Explanation:

A solution is said to have colligative property when the property depends on the solute present in the solution.

Colligative property depend upon on the solute particle or the ion concentration not on the identity of solute.

osmotic pressure, vapor pressure lowering , boiling point elevation and freezing point lowering all depend upon solute concentration so they will not have colligative property so, the answer remains option 'b' which is lattice energy.

How much work (in J) is done against the gravitational force on a 3.9 kg briefcase when it is carried from the ground floor to t
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

W = 14523.6 J

Explanation:

Given,

Mass = 3.9 Kg

Vertical height , h = 380 m

Work done against gravitational force

W = m g h

g is acceleration due to gravity

W = 3.9 x 9.8 x 380

W = 14523.6 J

Hence, the work done by the gravitational force is equal to W = 14523.6 J
